Hobie
American brand from California, known for surfboards and Hobie Cat catamarans.
Hobart Alter, known as Hobie, began making surfboards in Laguna Beach and was early to use foam boards. He then wanted a boat that could be sailed out through the surf straight from the beach.
The Hobie Cat 14 and Hobie 16 made the small beach catamaran a boat for everyone. The Hobie 16 has been built in more than a hundred thousand examples and is sailed at world championships.
The asymmetric hulls without daggerboards.
Striped sails in strong colours.
